I am glad to see that this post has helped someone. What makes this funny is that I created this post because I was tired of searching the internet, my ftp storage and my local storage to for this bundle of drivers.

I travel to Germany every-other-month to work with our European Software Development Team in Worth-on-Rhine, Germany. Normally we stay in a little town called Bellheim but on our last trip I convinced our boss to let us stay in Karlsruhe. To give it some perspective Bellheim is a small “Main Street” town with a hand full of restaurants and Karlsruhe is the size of Boston, MA.
As an added bonus we stayed in Karlsruhe at the beginning of December while the German Christmas market was going on. Even though the weather was unfavorable all week I still walked around the city and did loads of Christmas shopping.
Karlsruhe – Restaurants – Italian & Pizza – Restaurants
This place is awesome and I can’t wait to go back again.
The prices are good and the food is excellent.
The menu includes many pasta dishes as well as pizza made in a brick oven.
The food portions are American size (which is not exactly a good thing) but you get more than you pay for.

Let’s cut to the chase and skip the history and origin of the Manbag and get to the point.
We carry a lot of shit around with us everyday. At a minimum I have a mobile phone, my wallet and car/house keys which can all fit in my pants pockets. Now add in my glasses, a pen and Moleskine notebook (because if I don’t write it down it will never get done), some chap-stick (only in the Fall/Winter), halls cough drops (only in the Fall/Winter) and my key-chain frob for the office. There no way I’m getting all that crap in my pockets.
Is there any thing I could ditch? Not really.
So what are my options? A back-pack or messenger bag. Ok but that’s a lot of bag for small objects.
A Fanny pack? There no “F” in way.
How about a WWII map satchel? Hmm sounds good but how about something a little more modern.
Aha! An Eagle Creek Guide Bag.
